Free training for job-ready hospitality staff this summer

Hospitality employers on the Mornington Peninsula can now access free, pre-screened staff ahead of the summer rush through the Launch Into Work Hospitality Project, delivered by Apprenticeship Careers Australia in partnership with Chisholm Institute.

Participants complete a three-week training program covering food safety, responsible service of alcohol, coffee skills and customer service, then spend two days in your workplace at no cost, so they arrive ready to contribute. Most participants also qualify for a wage subsidy.

What’s involved for employers:

• Talk to David Le Plastrie from Launch into Work about the roles you need filled
• Meet shortlisted candidates and choose who fits your team
• Host successful candidates for two workplace days at no cost
• Offer a minimum of 20 hours per week to candidates you take on after training

Training starts in October, in time for businesses to be fully staffed for summer. A previous Peninsula program placed staff in cafes, restaurants, golf clubs and resorts across Rosebud, Balnarring and Frankston.
